Grimpire Entertainment Presents: (Black) Metal at the ShackThe sun sets at 4:53 PM on this cold December night, plunging Santa Cruz into complete, freezing darkness long before the doors even crack open. As the winter solstice looms, let us gather beneath a cold, dark December sky. The forgotten thirteenth constellation, Ophiuchus—the Serpent Bearer—descends into the underworld and rising in its place, Grimpire Entertainment brings you a darkly ambient regional metal showcase at Santa Cruz’s favorite craft beer underground hangout, Shanty Shack Brewing. Brace yourselves for a dual-headliner assault featuring the crushing, innovative black metal sounds of Vesseles and Misericordia.Grimpire beckons you to attend!VesselesIntense, atmospheric sonic devastation characterizes Vesseles, who is summoned to tear up the stage with one of their potent ceremonies. Far more than a standard live set, their performances are ritualistic gatherings of symphonic black metal intensity, cinematic vibes, and blistering progression. They deliver a massive wall of sound that holds your attention and hastens your insanity from beginning to end."Surely, Vesseles will be shaking people's veins live when they play..."— mxdwn Music ReviewMisericordia /Mi.se.riˈkor.di.a/Hailing from Santa Cruz, Misericordia channels the dual nature of their name: “mercy and compassion,” juxtaposed against “the thin-bladed medieval dagger used to deliver a final death stroke.” Musically, the death stroke they deliver is a mesmerizing, abstract take on death-doom mixed with heavy shoegaze and droning ethereal elements. Seamlessly blending crushing, down-tuned aggression with dark, textured catharsis, their set will mercifully drown you in an immersive wave of sound.Event DetailsDate: Saturday, December 12thDoors: 6:30 PMShow Starts: 7:00 PMAdmission: $10Age Limit: All Ages!
